Amongst our extracts will be found some curious kservatiens on Mr. CANNINes entertainment at the Thuiaeries, to which we have before alluded. The astonishment of the Parisian public, at this ;rent, appears to have been heightened by the circum tance that on the day that this Statesman dined with he KtNG, he breakfasted with a manufacturer at . St. ) tieti ! The Papers admit, however, that it is the plendid renown of our distinguished Statesman which 'as thrown down the barrier which hitherto, with ;carcely an exception but that of the Duke of WEL ANGTON, has excluded subjects from sharing the en- • enaitanents of the, table with a King of France.

K'lo the ballot for three Members to be proposed to the for his Majest to choose one to be President of the Chamber for this Session, the choice fell on M. Reyphius, Crombrugghe, and M. Sandberg. ~At the commencement•of this sitting a decree of his a esty was read, who, by virtue of article 84 of the Fun atattatsl Law, authorises the President to receive the oath r M. de Bousies, elected by the province of Hainault. : T he President, however, declared that he had not re ""td any papers from that gentleman, so that his ad 14ift"10n is deferred. A c onstitutional question arises (says Le Beige) on the sjmishibility of M. de Bousies. The Bth article of the FGundamental Law says, that to be a Member of the States en r w ral, " a person must be born in the kingdom or its I';' °ft jes, or in a foreign country, of parents settled in the v H g""rn, during a temporary absence on the public ser ,!"'''

In conse quence of the bad produce of the harvest in Sweden a reduction on the duty on the importation of grain has been made. The following are the only extracts worth giving ST, PEtiatlntinutt, OCT. 4.—Their Imperial Majesties titre txpected here between the 17th and 21st of this month. In the course of this week they will take a journey from Moscow to the Convent of Troizk, 180 wersts (120 miles) from that, to be present at a solemn thanksgiving. Extensive and splendid preparations are making here for the reception of their Majesties. Letters from Revel say, that in consequence of the great heat a very destructive distemper bad broken out among the cattle, and provisions are become extremely dear. OCT. 7.—The Mingrelian Prince Taral Dadian has re ceived from the Emperor the insignia of the Order of St. Anne of the first class in diamonds, accompanied with a very.gracious autograph letter to the effect that " His Ma jesty considers this mission as a new proof of the fidelity and attachment of, the Mingrelian reigning family, and wishes them to be assured of his special favour." In order to check the Persians in their advance from the side of Erivan, the Saudar of which is still inactive, and to favour the operations of our troops, a redoubt \has been erected by order of the Commander of our corps in the steppe of Lory. STOCKHOLM, OCT. 6.—ln consequence of the very un favourable reports received by the Government respecting the produce of the late harvest, his Majesty has ordered a reduction of the import duty on foreign grain. By this ordinance oats are wholly exempt from duty; barley to pay a duty of 32 schellings banco; and pease one rix dollar banco. No difference is to be made in the duties whether the importation is made in foreign or Swedish ships. The ordinance remains in force till the Ist of June, 1827. The Court returned on the day before yesterday, ,from Drotningsholm, to reside in the capital for the winter. EXCHANGES. HAMBUZGX, OCT. 17.-36 10. ; two months, 36 7. PETERSBURG, OCT. 3.-10.

Nothing was decided with respect to the ultimatum of our Court—at least the Reis Effendi had given no official an swer; but as the time for the definitive declaration (which will probably be an acceptance of the proposals of Russia) is approaching, M. Minziacky has already fixed the time for his departure, in case the answer of the Porte should not prove satisfactory, and he made the same pre parations as on the occasion of the preceding ultimatum. The Greeks at Constantinople seem to consider the late negociations and threats as concerted between the Eu ropean Powers, and not likely to produce any result essen tially injurious to the Porte.

The following extract will be interesting to'scientific.readers ST. PETERSBURGII, OCT. 6. Last July M. Menge, a foreign mineralogist, who is travelling in Siberia discovered, near lake Ilonen, eight versts from Miask iireon, a granite-like mass formed of Albite, Mica, and Hornblende. He has sent these speci mens to the misseura of the Corps of Cadets of the mines ; one of them is on the bed; the two others de tached, and are distinguished, one by its extraordinary size, and the other by its regular chrystallization and its splendour. A letter from Odessa, of 10th September, gives an ac count of an Aerolite, which fell on the estate of Madame Serbinoft in the Government of Ekaterinoslaw, and in the district of Pauloguad. On the 19th May some labourers, working in the fields at noon, heard a noise which seemed to come from the clouds, and continued to increase, till it ended in a loud explosion . . At the same time they saw heavy body descending rapidly, the fall of which was ac companied by a flash of light. It was about 20 fathoms from them. On going to the spot they found a stone, Which, in falling, had risin g the earth to the height of two arsheens, and made a hole 1 arsheen in depth. On the day when the phenomenon took place, the sky was slightly clouded, the air calm, without any storm or rain. The stone weighs two ponds its colour is a very dark blue, approaching to black : the surface has some small cavities, 'and in general the external appearance ,much resembles that of an agglomeration of sand. If we can credit the following accounts from Greece, the Greeks have gained a complete victory over the Seraskier ; indeed, this goes. far to confirm the ac counts previously received with reference to the same battle : VIENNA, OCT. 11. The Amtrian Observer, of this date, gives an extract from the Napoli Gazette of the 26th of August, contain ing an account of the events before Athens ,on the 20th of August, which, says the Austrian Observer—" Though the Greeks in a rather singular manner claim the victory, entirely confirm the accounts of the result of the action given in our Paper of the 25th of September." " The boasting Seraskier, says this Greek account, wished to make up for his defeat on the 18th, and being encouraged by the arrival of Omer Pacha, marched against our troops with a large body of infantry and 2000 cavalry. The battle began about sun-set, and continued the whole" day with great exertions on both sides; but the enemy, though superior in number, with numerous cavalry and artil lery, could not drive our troops from their position. The commanders. themselves say there has not been such a battle .since the beginning .of the war. The Greeks, though inferior in the number and quality of their troops, being without cavalry, and having only four small cannon, two of which broke down and became unserviceable, en tirely defeated the enemy, who, without exaggeration, had above 1,200 killed, and undoubtedly more wounded in this action, while we had not above 70 killed and wounded.

The Allgemeine .Zeitung of the 15th inst., has received, but it contains nothing• worth ex . .. :racting., VIENNA,. OcE. S l ' ara o MS. Although so confident an expectation was entertain ed towards the close of the last week, that Mr CAN NING had made great advances towards the arrange ment of a commercial treaty, on principles of recipro city, between this country and Franco, we find nothing in the latest French Papers which warrants this ex pectation, and the information which we have received from our own correspondent in Paris, leads us to form a decided opinion that Mr. CANNING'S endeavours to accomplish so desirable an object have altogether failed. However liberal in his own principles, and however anxious he may be to adopt in commercial intercourse those principles, which, if fairly acted upon, would contribute to the advantages of both countries, M. VILLELE has to contend not only against the preju dices of the nation generally, but against the opinions of many of his own colleagues, who openly avow the most decided hostility to measures from which they con ceive France would derive no benefits which she does not already enjoy under the commercial regulations of England, while this country would benefit by the admission into France of her manufactures. They contend, too, that however founded on principles of reciprocity any Treaty between the two countries might be, its operation would be almost exclusively to the advantage of England, from the greater variety and larger quantities of articles of her produce, which would be taken by France, than we should take in return, and the balanfe of trade would thus be greatly turned against her. In this latter argument there may be some weight, but the injurious effect to France would be but of short duration, for as the sale of our manufactures in creased, the demand for articles of luxury and convenience from France would increase likewise, and thus the mutual interests of the two countries would go hand in hand. If, however, M. VILLELE should not find himself strong enough to resist the arguments of his colleagues, and the prejndites of the French nation in favour of their present Commercial Re'gulations, in respect to British produce, the question of Free Trade, as be tween this Country and Fiance, will stand on' very different grounds from those on which it has at pre sent rested ; and we have little doubt, that Mr. CAN NING and Mr. HUSK tssoN will adopt, on the meeting of Parliament, such measures as will convince France that the loss of the present advantages in her trade with England must be the consequence of her unwise and illiberal policy. The following is an extract of a lettt.r just received front a very intelligent Gentleman in Cadiz, dated Sept. 21, and will be read with interest : Any intelligent.. transmitted from a city like Cadiz, must be, in a great degree, local ; because, there being no liberty of the press in this unhappy country, and no safety in private communica tions, it is extremely difficult to ascertain what is really passing in other parts of Spain ; and we look with great anxiety, I assure you, for the arrival of the Packet every month, from whirls we glean a little of Spanish affairs. It would seem that the French are likely to continue their oc cupation of this part of Spain; it had been resolved to withdraw a considerable portion of them from this neighbourhood, two thiids at least; and the recruits destined to complete the regiments which were short of their complements by reason of the number of discharged soldiers every year, were retained in France; they ought to have been here, in the regular course of things, early last spring. Orders have, however, been issued by the French Go vernment to send them to their regiments here. The corvettes La Vesuve, L' indefatigable, and the have arrived with different detachments, and ate returning to France for mote. The only French frigate on this station, La Belles., is ordered for the like purpose to Rochfort ; the French naval station, will, in the absence of this frigate, be commanded in the meantime by a Lieutenant. This not only proves a change in the determinations of the French Councils, but augurs an anxiety to carry the measures into prompt execution. The French force at Cadiz, at the Isla, Port St. Mary's, and St. Lucia, may be estimated at almost eleven thousand, when the regiments are complete; commanded by Lieut.-General Viscount Guden, consisting of three brigades, commanded by Major-Gene rals Count de Castellane, Major-General Monson, and Major-Ge neral Sousbril. General C.astellane's brigade, stationed at Port St. Mary's, Chielane, and St. Lucia, consists of the 13th and 14th Lancers, two. troops of florae Artillery, and the 9th Light Infantry. General Monton's brigade, stationed at the Isla, con sists of the 15th, 34th, and 36th Regiments of the Line. Major- General Souabril's brigade consists of the 20th, 27th, and 35 t h Regiments of the Line at Cadis. These brigades change quarters every four =mho. There is, moreover, at Cadiz and the Isla about 1,200 Artillery and Engineers. The French naval force consists, at present, of La Bellone frigate, the Baron tie St. Priest, of two brigs of 16 guns, conunanded by Lieutenants, and several smaller brigs and schooners, which are chiefly employed in the Sanitary . eervice, and which retur n t o France when that service is over, in the month of November. The character and conduct of the troops, &c. &c. are Very praiseworthy. PAPAS, OCT. 20.--Accouets hare this clay been rewired of the return of the squadron under Admiral Laborde to Havannah, after encountering a violent gale; several of the frigates disniaet. ed, one frigate missing, and the Admiral's ship considerably da. rugged.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, GIIILDKALL...-(Tale DA 1. ) EVANS V. WARD. Mr. POL,Locic opened the pleadings. Mr. Scam.r.wir stated the Cate. This Learned Gentleman's ap pearance caused some inerriinent, from the circumstance of his be ing without his wig, and in a blue coat and white waistcoat. After the laugh, in which he joined, had subsided, he expressed his gratitude for the Bench's indulgence, in allowing him to appear as he did. The fact was, he had travelled 30 miles this Luorning, before he reached the Court, and had not had time to get his wigi &c. His client, he thought, would not have much difficulty. in obtaining a verdict. The action was brought for the non-per formance of a contract. In October, 1824, the plaintiff entered into a contract with a broker of the name of Linthorn (the agent of the defendant, Mr. Ward), that he should have the whole Odle whalebone to be brought from the South Seas by the ship Amity, at 100/. per ton. The plaintiff had been unable to obtain a'..pet forinance of the contract after the ship arrived in 182§ L sul the . reason probably was, that between the making of ihe'contraet and the arrival of the ship the price of this article had risen 50 or 60 per cent. The sum sought to be recovered was the differetire be tween the 1001. and the aunt at which the whalebone Wal subse quently sold. Thos. Rogers.-.I am clerk to Mr. Linthorp; he is a broker; he was employed as a broker by Mr. Ward. I have seen this contract before, I made it as clerk to the defendant, with the plaintiff. Previously, a contract had been made with a Mr. Ferguson, for the sale of some whalebone ; he failed, and this contract was made in consequence, the one with Ferguson having been rescin ded. This contract was made on the sth of October, 1824 ; a copy of it I sent to the defendant on the same night. I saw him the following day on 'Change. He then told me he would not sign it,, for Mr. Linthorn had no authority to make such a con trait ; 1 received back the copy I had sent ; .something had been written on the back, with a pencil, hilt I could not make out what it was ; accounts rather unfavourable to the fishery had been received that morning ; this account did not affect the price of the whalebone at the moment, but it was afterwards confirmed, and the price advanced perhaps 50 per cent. After the contract with Ferguson was cancelled, Mr. Linthorn mentioned this con tract with the plaintiff,t o . as a thing to be attended _ Linthorn had been out of town when this contract was made, for some time, and did not return till long afterwards.' I had no personal knowledge of Mr. Ward, till I was introduced to him on the Exchange, on the morning he told me he had given no authority to make the contract. I did not then know the place where the defendant carried on his business. The defendant told me that at that moment he had not received the contract ; be bad left his home, to which it had been sent, before it arrived. I entered the contract in our book, but the book was not signed. I had told Mr. Tennant, with whom a contract was made when the one was made with Ferguson, which also was afterwards rescinded, that I had made this agreement with the plaintiff, and he informed the plaintiff of what I had said to him before I saw Lim on 'Change. Re-examined.—Mr. Linthorn is very often out of town at par. titular seasons of the year. 1 attend to his business when he is out. I had the same. authority to transact this business for Mr. Linthorn, that I have Jad for doing every thing else that I have done for him. Benjamin Linthorn.-1 am a broker. Remember the con-, tracts with Ferguson and Tennant; they werseancellerl with the, approbation of all parties.. The whalebone was sold at 1001. a ton, and when these eontracts were zescintled, Mr. Ward told itie he would sell at the same price, the moment he could get a good buyer, and I understood the defendant that I was to sell again at that price if I could get it. My clerk effected the sale in my absence. Cross-examined..--I did not consider myself authorised to sell the whalebone without Mr. Ward's authority. Re-examined--My habit is this, if a merchant gives me autho. rity to sell at 100/. a ton to-day; if could effect it to-day I would, but if I could not until to - m orrow, I should conclude the contract contract t w vi a t s h ma out de ag w ai i n th em Ferguson nni an catiing with that merchant.

It wee on that day he told ma he would take the same price of another buyer.. He did nut name any time within which only he would take that mousy, but from my habits of dealt ing with him I should n ot have considered myself j ustified in sell,- ing on Any other day without renewed authority.

Mr. AEnxnaoN addressed the Jury for the defendant, the grounds of defence were, that from the mode of dealing between Mr. Linthorn and hie client, he had had no authority to effect thi sale, Mr. L. not having communicated with the defendant on the day on wbieh the supposed contract was entered into; and that, even if Mr. L. had bad authority, yet that his clerk had not, so as to have enabled him to hare acted conclusively, without the fur ther sanction either of his master or Mr. Ward. The COURT summed up, and left it to the jury to diapOse of. If they were satisfied that Mr. Linthorn bad had a general autho rity to sell on behalf of the defendant, there could be no doubt of the plaintiff's being entitled to a verdict for about 140/. ; if the authority was not general, and that the defendant was entitled to have been communicated with again before the contract was made. the decision would have to be in his favour.-...Verdict for the defendant. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.—(Tms DAY.) The Sessions commenced this day before Mr. MARANATT, Chairman, and a bench of Magistrates. Elisabeth Frampton, alias Letterman, and Elizabeth Ton. qius, alias Smith, both doubtful character*, were placed at the bar, charged with mutual assaults. It appeared that Tamping, who lodged with the other prisoner, bad a dispute with the latter about washing, and that in conse quence they mutually beat one another; hut the witnesses not hiving proved who struck first, they were found Not Guilty. John. Townly, an itinerant vender of books, was aecueed of an indecent assa►lt. He wag found Gm lig, and sentenced to solitary confinement for six months. Thomas Toms was charged with having kept an indecent and disorderly house for twelve months previous to the month of June last, in No. SO, Thornhaugh-street. Mr. ADOLPHUS, for the prosecution, commenced by stating, that though his friend, Mr. Alley (Counsel fur the prisoner), should now come, forward end offer to compromise this case, he shoidd not be listened to, because the prisoner had already been once discharged, on his promise to discontinue the nuisance complained of. In January last the Commissioners of the parish of St. Pan cras gave notice to the prisoner to discontinue the said nuisance, but having thought proper to disregard it, he was indicted before the. June Sessions. He then requested of the prosecutors to com promise the matter, which they accordingly did ; but notwith standing he still continued his former misconduct. Thy Com missioners, therefore, determined now to bring the matter into Court, that the offence might he visited with exemplary punish ment. Helena Johnson deposed, that for about a year previous to the month of June last, she was employed by the prisoner, generally twice or thrice a week to wash, and do other matters for him. He hid some rooms let to ladies; the house was conducted in as re spectable a manner as such a house could be; saw gentlemen come in with the ladies when the prisoner was in the house. Mrs. Jane Fennel stated, that she was the wife of a carpenter, wlio could not roma forward to-day, as he was unable to leave hie hushing. Their house is opposite to the prisoner's; the latter house war for a year at least previous to June last kept in a most in famous manner ; ..young women who lodged there, were in the habit of making their appearance at the windows half dressed ; • she caw them even making indeeent signs to a child of eight years of age. Cross-examined by Mr. ALLZY—She keeps lodgers herself, but they are respectable working people. Her lodgers gave her notice three times that they must leave in consequence of the infamous conduct of the girls in the prisoner's house. Sarah Bull, a widow, lived at the third door from the prisoner's ; kept lodgers, but they were respectable. The prisoner's house was conducted most infamously ; she could not go out to see any of the neighbours without being offended by the girls exposing their permits. Mr. ALLEY commented very strongly upon the evidence, and contended that there was no evidence before the Jury, that the prisoner was the tenant of that house, or that he rnight hot have been a lodger, and the ladies, the tenants. Had the proprietor, who received the tent, been called, or the tax-gatherer? No such thing. Was there any evidence that there was any mob or row in the street, in consequence of the girl's conduct ? No watchman was called to prove any thing of the kind. He there fore trusted that the Jury would not run away with any false feel mga of morality, and that they would find his client not guilty. The CRAM:MAW summed up, and the Jury, after a few mi nutes' consultation, returned a verdict of Guilty, and be was in consequence sentenced to be confined, in the St. Pancras work house, for six mouths. MEETING OF THE ARIGNA IRON AND COAL COMPANY.—(Trits DAY). A Meeting of tile Shareholders took place AU day. at the .King's Head Tavern, Poultry.

Pritchard, and H. Gooch, Emirs. as Auditors of the Company. Mr. J. G.DeNstau protested against the Resolution that had been read ; if those proceeding, were legal, what occasion was there for calling the present meeting to confirm them ?

Beans and Pease obtain the same prices as last Monday.. Rya is nearly unsaleable. The Oat buyers this morning hesitate tp purchase, but the factors bold this article firmly at last quotations fur all samples that arein . good condition.
